3. INTRODUCTION
❖Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), also Fiber reinforced plastic, is a
composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers.
The fibers are usually glass, carbon, or aramid, although other fibers
such as paper or wood or asbestos have been sometimes used.
❖The polymer is usually an epoxy, vinyl ester or polyester
thermosetting plastic, and phenol formaldehyde resins are still in
use.
❖FRPs are commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, marine,
and construction industries.

24. TENSILE PROPERTIES OF PMC’S
Tensile properties, such as tensile strength, tensile
modulus, and Poisson’s ratio of flat composite
laminates, are determined by static tension tests in
accordance with ASTM D3039.
28. FLEXURAL
PROPERTIES
Flexural properties, such as flexural strength and
modulus, are determined by ASTM test method
D790.
The flexural strength in a three-point flexural test is
given by,

Test configuration for (a) two-rail and (b) three-rail shear tests.
33. FATIGUE PROPERTIES
The fatigue properties of a material represent its
response to cyclic loading, which is a common
occurrence in many applications.

34. IMPACT PROPERTIES
A variety of standard impact test methods are available
for metals (ASTM E23) and unreinforced polymers
(ASTM D256).
